UFO Sighting Causes Stir In Florida

SAINT AUGUSTINE, Florida and PHOENIX,Arizona- Hundreds of people claimed to have seen a UFO near Saint Augustine, Florida last weekend.

The images were caught on tape by several people.

Rumors began to fly when the local airport and air force base said they had nothing to do with the lights. But, one woman said theunidentified objects may have come from her wedding reception. At the Asian themed party, life-size hot air balloons were released around the same time as the UFO sightings. She said the ‘sky lanterns’ can rise nearly 5,000 feet and travel for miles.

Another UFO sighting happened in Phoenix around the same time, caused residents and officials to question what they were looking at. The local airport said they saw the lights, but nothing showed up on the radar, which means it wasn’t an aircraft. A Phoenix police helicopter also saw the lights from the air, and couldn’t explain them.

One local prankster said he can. The man, who won’t identify himself, said he released helium balloons withflares attachedashoax.
